I wish the authors of adapted metaphors were forced to map their altered versions to the original.

Example: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. The Four Horsemen of Technology include Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Which goes with which? I vote Amazon for Conquest (of the Internet), Google for Famine (of attention span, and possibly design sense), Facebook for War (over friends, likes and popularity), and Apple for Death (of freedom).

N.B. The preceding intended for humor only. Any attempt to interpret seriously will meet with swift rebuttal.
